Prince's attempt failed, but in the ensuing chaos three white prisoners--Charles Morley, Shorty Gray, and John Dowd--shot their way out of Lancaster prison, killing the warden and two deputies. They then invaded a nearby farm, taking a young couple hostage and later killing one before being stopped by a near-army of pursuing lawmen. Dowd and Gray died; Morley was taken back to prison, where he resided until finally being paroled in 1941.

Morley's surprising revelations after his release about just who provided the guns used in the jailbreak, Prince's fate, and the repercussions of these misfits' actions form the denouement to Christianson's well-written narrative, which will be of interest to true-crime buffs and students of the American West alike. --Gregory McNamee

"An epic sweep, with a cast of characters to match . . . a fascinating if alarming story." --Witold Rybczynski, The New York Times

"So vividly does it conjure the thinkers and their milieus, so relentlessly does it build the case for human impact on the planet, Greenhouse ought to cause the greening of the uncommitted reader."--Indianapolis Star
